Basically, coffee is amazing. It’s perfect for those mornings when you stayed up until a bit past 0300 knotting a quilt for your mother who’s going to be arriving the next day. Fortunately, I have a very understanding boss who agreed that we both needed an extra hour of sleep. And now: the schedule.
Language arts:
Practice misspelled words
Write an entry in her journal (side note: find journal)
Review parts of a story
Work on fable
Science:
Continue to work on powerpoint presentation for simple machines.
Introduce term “lever arm”
Create and finish slide for inclined planes and screws.
Social Studies:
Continue to translate resolutions
Read about what life was like in 1848 (http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1597503,00.html)
(http://kclibrary.lonestar.edu/19thcentury1840.htm)
Math:
Review metric system prefixes and discuss powers of ten; focus on positive powers. Side note, if decimals are a number multiplied by ten raised to a negative power, does that make them the supervillians of the numerical universe?
Practice multiplication facts with flashcard spaceships (I have they fly across the room at her and she has to shoot them with her properly calibrated eye lasers)
Practice place value and which metric unit of weight is appropriate on www.ixl.com
Practice addition with decimals (http://www.mathsisfun.com/worksheets/print.php?w=1848&ID=30963)
Other:
Practice sign language (www.aslpro.com)
Paint spoons
Go for a walk and exercise
Economics (opportunity cost)
The Kid is still zonked, so I have a few minutes to whip up a batch of homemade Super Chocolatey Waffles (waffles with cocoa powder and chocolate chips) before she rises. The plan is to drink another cup of coffee and be ready to snuggle and read a chapter from the latest Oz book while she eats. Wish me luck!
